Radio Paradise (mobile)

Darbuka88 Jun 07, 2012 - 12:16	I remember hearing this tune when I was eight years old being played by some teenagers across the back lane. My dad said that they were part of the Young Communists League. I still don't know if he was joking or not. But upon hearing it, I thought to myself, "I need to hear more of that!" [ Reply ]

To wit: "Ukraine girls really knock me out (wee-oh-woo) and leave the west behind, Moscow girls make me scream and shout, and Georgia's always on my mi-mi-mi-mi-mind..." Great satire and a great song. [ Reply ]

Skeletor Mar 05, 2003 - 11:57	Great song from a great band.... But puh-leeeeze, can we retire some of these chestnuts? This one could go into the vault forever and I could still play it in my head. Same with "Day in the Life", "Sgt Pepper", "Blackbird", etc. "Piggies" is ok. [ Reply ]

You'd never catch the Stones doing this. They'll never get anywhere, you mark my words! I've got a terrible weak spot for the Stones, but boy, Keith Richards lifted about every lick Chuck Berry once came up with. Just as he and the Stones took from Blues, Gospel, Soul, Jazz, Dylan and.....the Beatles all they could use. No problem, the way they did, but nevertheless, not that original as well. Asked what epitaph he wanted on his tombstone, Keith Richards answered; "He passed it on" (Victor Bockris' Keith Richards biography). Edited By Johray63 at 6:42 am on 4/15/2003 [ Reply ]

RParadise May 23, 2002 - 08:24	Right on, Jacques! Everyone who remembers when this album came out knows that this was done as a tribute to the Beach Boys. It's beyond obvious that this is done with real affection for a group the Beatles really respected. [ Reply ]

You'd never catch the Stones doing this. They'll never get anywhere, you mark my words! Um... yeah, funny... but, all joking aside McCartney wrote this as a "nod and a wink" to Mike Love (Beach Boys) with whom they spent a few hippy-dippy weeks in India with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (Sexy Sadie...)... this song was written expressly to sound like the Beach Boys. It's too obvious a stylistic rip-off to be anything but a "tribute/tip of the hat"... Still, I wonder what ever became of these "Beatles"? Did they ever make it? That being said I'll go play my white album CD... number 9, number 9, number 9... Cheers Jacques Radio Paradise: What Radio Could Have Been [ Reply ]
